God save us from the queen

I would like to state, plainly and equivocally, that I do not give a rat’s ass that Barack Obama, the democratically-elected President of the United States of America, effed up a toast to the queen of England, who was chosen … Continue reading

Really, Friedman’s just embarrassing now

If you read Tom Friedman, you have to wonder: Does he know how idiotic he sounds? I’m thinking not. May I suggest a Tahrir Square alternative? Announce that every Friday from today forward will be “Peace Day,” and have thousands … Continue reading

Your Monday news roundup

Pray for the people of Joplin: Horrible. A tornado has killed at least 89 people, and the count will certainly go higher as the missing become known to be killed. Breaking British law: Come and get me, if you can. … Continue reading

First I have a confession to make: my expectations of the Obama – Bibi meeting were completely off the mark. I was sure that Bibi will fold under pressure from Obama/Hilary and raise only a token resistance during the meeting, … Continue reading

Obama and the Middle East reset

The discussion over the Obama reference to the 1967 lines (a.k.a. the 1949 Armistice Lines) is missing the point. Obama’s defense of what he said at AIPAC today is also beside the point. The fact that other presidents and Israeli … Continue reading

Live-blogging Obama at AIPAC

I will be live-blogging the speech. We’re in the preliminaries right now, and one of the thoughts that crossed my mind was, gee, Israel’s enemies are really hating on AIPAC at this moment. 10:24: I think “Better together” is a … Continue reading

Sing a song of whitewash

The AP almost had me on article about an Israeli acting troupe forced to cancel a performance in Turkey because of “protests.” It was the boilerplate, which is far more honest about Israel-Turkey relations than usual, that made me think … Continue reading

The missing words in Obama’s speech

The words missing from Obama’s speech yesterday: Defensible borders. He said “secure and recognized borders,” which is quite a different concept from “defensible borders.” Omri has a roundup of experts who noticed the major shift in U.S. policy. And the … Continue reading
